Lin's International Buffet

Larger selection than the usual Chinese buffet. Three and half stars for quality of the Chinese buffet. Good selection of meat dishes. Including brisket sliced by an employee. Beef ribs, pork and different Chinese chicken items. Most of the meats were juicy and tender. Breaded shrimp tasted good. Crab was good. General Tao chicken was good. Fried rice could have used more flavor. Ice cream selection was larger than usual and included mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip. Also good rainbow sherbet. Chocolate pudding was kind of bland. Our waiter was helpful and pleasant.

If you're craving some Chinese fare but the kids are begging for pizza and chicken tenders, the Lin's International Buffet is the place to go. This extensive buffet checks all the boxes for Asian and American comfort food. The food is fresh, including the fish and sushi and the restaurant is clean overall. On our visit we checked in and pre-paid at the front desk. I'm nice paid we were seated and the wait staff stopped by our table to get our drink orders. We had hot tea and water. I had a sampling of egg drop soup, beef broccoli, egg roll, cheese wonton, triple delight, jalapeño chicken, pepper steak, fried rice, and a bbq rib. The soup was excellent and of the Chinese dishes I enjoyed the jalapeño chicken and pepper steak the best. Overall it was a good experience. It wasn't the best Chinese food in town but it was good for a buffet and easy on the pocket book. When we arrived around 6pm on a Friday night it wasn't too busy but by the time we finished up the place was packed. So go early if you can.

Stopped by today for lunch. Three is appropriate. Not good but not bad. The fried fish was surprisingly good. The bourbon and teriyaki chicken were above average. The one thing that bothered us was the fried rice. It was not very good. It was bland, and not what you would expect from a Chinese buffet. It's hard to mess that up. The ribs were not that great either. We would probably not come here again because of the price. If it was cheaper we would.

Meh. Upside place was clean and pretty inside, food average most chicken dishes used dark meat. I was very disappointed in how many items were not marked or only marked on one side. It's hard to know what it is, also nothing marked at the pho bar. I was sad that there was absolutely no tofu or just vegetables dishes. All in all nice place but nothing special

A big variety of food. Desserts, vegetables, fruit, seafood, Chinese food, chicken, salads, it's a buffet. Staff is busy cleaning up and serving drinks.

First time was great second time not so much. I don't know what happened in the month since we last visited but several food items were cold, quality was bad and other patrons were rude. When you have 1 small freezer for people to have to lean down into it and serve their own ice cream apparently waiting in line for others becomes an issue. For the price you pay not worth it. Take the drive to KUMI instead you will NOT regret it! We won't be coming back here.

I like the huge variety of foods to choose from! I personally love the brisket, sausage, sweet and sour chicken, and beef and broccoli! Service is always very good and this place is always packed! We love that they offer military discount too! This is our 3rd time here and enjoy it! The apple pie cobbler was delicious with the ice cream!

The food was cold and had no taste my wife and I both got sick when we got home.very disappointed in this restaurant big variety but poor quality

I have been here 2 times since moving to San Antonio both times were great experiences. Food was fresh staff was friendly and attentive

Myself personally I do not enjoy buffets, but when everything's closed on Christmas, I happily ran to Lynn's buffet with filled up our bellies my daughter, and I and we left the smile
